Questions people ask us.
How much does a blood test cost in Dubai?+
Pricing depends on the panel. A single marker such as Vitamin D or TSH starts from a few hundred AED; our 40+ marker Aafiyah Signature Profile (full body checkup at home) is all-inclusive of nurse home visit, lab fees, doctor review and follow-up consultation. Share your WhatsApp and we'll send exact pricing.
Where can I do a blood test at home in Dubai?+
Aafiyah Care offers blood test at home across Dubai — Downtown, Business Bay, Marina, JBR, Palm Jumeirah, JVC, Arabian Ranches, Emirates Hills, Mirdif, Deira and all Dubai communities. A DHA-licensed nurse comes to your home, villa or hotel for sample collection.
How quickly do I get blood test results in Dubai?+
Most routine results (CBC, lipid profile, HbA1c, kidney & liver function, vitamin D, B12, thyroid) are ready the same day or within 24 hours. Specialist hormone, allergy and tumour-marker panels take 2–5 days. A doctor reviews every report and calls you to explain — you don't just get a PDF.
Do I need to fast before a blood test?+
Fasting (8–12 hours, water only) is required for lipid profile, glucose, HbA1c and most full body checkups. Thyroid, vitamin D, B12, ferritin and CBC do not require fasting. We'll confirm exact prep when you book.
Is the home blood test covered by insurance in Dubai?+
Some packages are claimable through your insurer for reimbursement. We provide a full invoice and medical report. Direct billing is available with selected insurers — please ask when booking.
What's included in a full body checkup at home?+
Our Aafiyah Signature Profile covers 40+ markers: HbA1c, full lipid profile, liver function (ALT, AST, ALP, GGT), kidney function (creatinine, urea, eGFR), thyroid (TSH/T3/T4), vitamin D, B12, folate, ferritin, iron studies, CBC, ESR, electrolytes, magnesium, calcium and more — plus doctor review and a follow-up consultation.
How much is a vitamin D test in Dubai?+
A single 25-OH vitamin D test starts from a few hundred AED at our Business Bay clinic or at home anywhere in Dubai. Vitamin D deficiency is the most common deficiency we find — over 80% of Dubai patients are below optimal. Same-day results, doctor review included.
How much is a thyroid test in Dubai?+
A full thyroid panel (TSH, Free T3, Free T4) is one of our most-requested single panels. Available at home or in-clinic, results back same day, with a doctor's interpretation rather than just numbers on a page.
How much is an HbA1c or diabetes blood test in Dubai?+
HbA1c (the gold-standard 3-month blood sugar marker) is available as a single test or bundled into our diabetes screening panel with fasting glucose, lipids and kidney function. Doctor review included — important for diabetes and pre-diabetes monitoring.
Do I need a doctor's referral for a blood test in Dubai?+
No — you can book most panels (full body, vitamin, hormone) directly without a referral. A doctor reviews every result and recommends next steps. A handful of specialist panels (fertility, tumour markers) need a brief GP review first, which we can do by video the same day.
Can a nurse come to my home to do my blood test in Dubai?+
Yes. Our DHA-licensed phlebotomy nurses cover every Dubai community — Marina, Downtown, Palm Jumeirah, Business Bay, JBR, JVC, Arabian Ranches, Emirates Hills, Mirdif, Deira and beyond. Most appointments confirmed within 60 minutes; samples go straight to our accredited lab.
What is the difference between a basic blood test and a full body checkup?+
A basic blood test usually means a CBC or a single marker like vitamin D. A full body checkup (executive panel) covers 40+ markers across metabolic, cardiovascular, liver, kidney, thyroid, vitamin and inflammation health — designed to flag silent issues early.
How accurate are home blood tests in Dubai compared with hospital labs?+
Identical. Our nurses use the same vacutainer system used in hospitals, and samples are processed by DHA-accredited reference labs (the same labs many Dubai hospitals use). The only difference is convenience — sample quality and result accuracy are the same.
How much does a blood test at home cost in Dubai?+
Blood tests at home with Aafiyah start from AED 150 for individual markers (Vitamin D, TSH, HbA1c) and AED 1,200 for our comprehensive 40+ marker Aafiyah Signature Profile. All results are reviewed by a British-trained GP who calls you personally — included in the price.
How long does a home blood test take in Dubai?+
The nurse visit typically takes 10–15 minutes. Most results are available within 24 hours, with urgent markers often available same day. Your GP will call to discuss results once ready.
Can a nurse come to my hotel for a blood test in Dubai?+
Yes — we regularly visit hotels across Business Bay, Downtown Dubai, Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Marina. Simply WhatsApp us your hotel name and room number on +971 52 320 1543.
What is the difference between Aafiyah blood tests and a hospital lab?+
The tests and laboratory are the same standard — DHA-accredited. The difference is that at Aafiyah, a British-trained GP personally reviews your results and calls you to explain them. Most labs simply email a PDF with no clinical interpretation.
Can my family doctor arrange blood tests at home in Dubai?+
Yes — your named Aafiyah GP arranges home blood collection. Results reviewed personally by your doctor with a follow-up call — not just a PDF.
Is a private blood test different from an insurance blood test in Dubai?+
Clinically identical labs — the difference is your British GP calls you personally to explain results rather than leaving you with numbers on a page.
What to look for in a blood test provider in Dubai
Sample quality, lab accreditation and clinical interpretation determine whether a blood test tells you the truth. Check these before booking any provider.
- 01
DHA-accredited lab
The processing laboratory should hold DHA accreditation and ideally CAP or ISO 15189. Ask which lab runs your samples.
- 02
DHA-licensed phlebotomy
Home draws must be performed by a licensed phlebotomist or registered nurse — not an assistant. Sample integrity depends on it.
- 03
Correct tube & handling
Different markers need different tubes, temperatures and centrifuge times. Poor handling ruins a result before the lab sees it.
- 04
Doctor-reviewed report
A PDF of numbers is not a result. A licensed doctor should interpret ranges in the context of your history, meds and symptoms.
- 05
Personal call-back
Every result — normal or abnormal — deserves a conversation, not silence. Ask whether the provider calls you.
- 06
Insurance-ready invoicing
ICD-coded invoicing lets you claim reimbursement from Cigna, Bupa, AXA, Allianz and Daman where eligible.

"Called at 8am with a fever, had a British-trained doctor at my door by 11. He sat with me for 45 minutes — not the 5 minutes I'm used to. Prescription delivered same day. Felt like having a proper GP again."
"We finally have one doctor who knows all of us. The kids actually like going. Follow-up calls happen without us chasing. Worth every dirham."
"The 40+ marker report came back with a real conversation, not a PDF dumped in my inbox. Caught a vitamin deficiency I'd been ignoring for years."
